The offered treatment will be the Danish versions of the Swedish i-CBT programs for children. The child i-CBT program consists of 10 modules for the child and 10 for parents. The adolescent i-CBT program consists of 10 modules for the adolescent and 5 modules for the parents. Child and adolescents modules compose of exposure exercises for symptoms, behavioural analyses and affect labelling and are adjusted for the specific age group. Parent modules aim at supporting parents in helping their child to engage in the challenging exposure exercises. The family needs to select one parent to participate in the parent program. The participants will be expected to use approximately 4 hours per week. The programs will be delivered over ten weeks, and therapist support will be provided on a weekly basis.
